The Young Israel Jewish Federation Torah Story (video)

December 9, 2013 Leave a Comment

rabbibernsteintorahA Torah is among a congregation’s most cherished possessions, containing the foundational narrative of the Jewish people. So when Young Israel of Greater Cleveland learned the Jewish community in Warsaw needed a Torah, they responded by offering one of their own.

“To walk through the streets of Warsaw with this Torah in our arms, and present it to the Jewish community was really special. It was a mitzvah,” said J. David Heller, one of the Federation mission participants who brought the restored Torah from Young Israel in Cleveland to Warsaw, where Jewish life and culture are being revitalized.

WKYC Channel 3 News Report – Cleveland Hts: Parents wary of neighborhood lurker (Video)

June 25, 2013 Leave a Comment

TV3LurkerSnipsLink to WKYC Channel 3 Video >>

(Ed: It is very much appreciated that WKYC took the time to visit our community and report on this story. However, not every detail appears correct. There were many more incidents than the report mentions (mentioning just 3) and it appears that the suspect is frequenting other areas besides Cleveland Heights (which is a big part of this story and is not discussed). The strong response of CH police also is very appropriately highlighted.)
